RECOVERY: Get Well & Stay Well

The Peer Support Model

The program is based on a peer-support model for a number of reasons:

Because peer support is an example of the kind of self-determination that occurs in recovery, and because peer support can transform lives.

Hearing from others who have experienced similar struggles, and who understand how we are feeling is an important factor in recovery.
